NECKTIE.

Application filed June 29, 1921.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM K. MEYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at 2025 Broadway, New York city, in the county of New York and State of 'New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckties, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to the manufacture of neckties, and especially to our-in-hand ties, which have a narrow neck band portion and wider end portions.

An object ot my invention is the construction of a tie by which there is a saving of the expensive material used in making the tie, without in any way atlecting the strength, lasting qualities, or beauty of the tie.

A further object of my invention is to do away with the ridge resulting from the seam extending the full length ot' the tie at the joining place ot the back fold of the outer material of which the tie is made.

- lilith these and further objects in view, one embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a plan view of the back of the tie with certain parts broken away.

Figure 2 is an edge view thereof.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the front of the tie.

rlhe tie shown in the accompanying drawings consists et two pieces ot silk l and 2 or other suitable material folded shown and joined by a bias seam 3. lt has a suitable lining @l extending from the point 5 to the peint 6 from which points to the ends of the material the adjacent edges are free.

The cuter material is cut away 'from both edges trom point 7 to point 8 as clearly shown in Figures l and 5, the space between the edges-ot the outer material being designated by 9, in Figure 5.- In order to attach this material securely and to avoid the seam on the back of the tie a narrow strip 10 is inserted above the lining Il, and between the edges of the outer material, as clearly shown in Figures l and 5, to which it may 4: is a section on line lx-4* of is a section on line 5X-5* of G is a section on line (3X-6X of Specification of Letters Patent.

be stitched by hand. The usual band l1 of any suitable closely woven material is then v ing the tie in position and tying it without injuring the material of which the tie is made or tearing any of the parts thereof.

The strip l() may be sewed by hand to the edges ot' the silk, as indicated at 13. rEhe band ll extending from point 14 to point l5 and over the cut away part of the silk outer material may then be machine stitched, the stitches extending through the band, the strip lO, the lining and the outer material 1from point 14 to point 16. From point 16 to point l5 the band is stitched by hand to the back told oi the outer material, the strip and the lining, the stitches not extending through the outer material, as shown in Figure 3.

rlhe machine stitching is indicated by dotted longitudinal lines, and the hand stitching by lines at an angle thereto, as shown in Figure l.

There will be no seam from point 8 to point 7. The absence of this seam is a new feature in my tie which results in a thin, flat tie. rllhis construction, as above stated, also saves the material where no use of it is now made. I have, therefore, made a superior tie by combining several new features among which are cutting away a part of the back fold of the outer material, fastening the edges of the outer material together by a strip placed above the lining, thus doing away with the ridge on the back fold of the tie, the use of a tab on the small end ot' the tie and stitching the neck Vband and a part of the small end of the tie through all the parts thereof.

Having described my invention, what claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is,

l. A necktie consisting of a neck band portion and end portions, and comprising folded outer material, said outer material overlapping at the back of the tie only at the ends of said end portions, a lining, a strip placed above said lining, and a band, said band being attached over said strip, and being of single thickness throughout.

2. A necktie consisting of a neck band portion and. cud portions, and comprising folded outer material, said material overlapping only at the ends of the end portions, a lining, a strip placed between the foldsA of the folded material and fastened to the hack fold thereof, and a hand covering said strip and the edges of the loaek fold of the folded material, Said neck portion and part of the narrower end portion being stitched entirely through the tie, and" part ofthe Wider end portion being stitched l0 through all the parts of the tie except the front fold of the outer material.

In testimony whereof I aHiX 1n signature.
